Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Can AI help solve Japan’s labour shortages?
For job markets where there are enough human workers, AI or robots
might pose a threat to job security. However, in places where the population or
the workforce is shrinking like Japan, they are savoirs. As the country’s
population is declining faster than ever and the workforce is rapidly aging, especially
in labor-intensive industries like agriculture and service, AI is becoming a reliable
and productive workforce. For example, AI-powered cameras are used to detect
any faulty dumplings on the production lines. Also, AI helps identify diseases,
pests, and weeds when smartphone photos of struggling crops are uploaded and then
suggests which pesticide might be needed. Though changes occur very slowly to
improve productivity in Japan, people and businesses are now desperate to
bring in whatever workforce to fill the worker shortages.
Read the article and learn about how Japan is using AI workforce to
deal with labor shortages.
